Gillette Fusion Proglide Razor

Gillette Fusion Proglide Razor is an engineered low cutting force razor blade with thinner, finer edges and advanced low resistance coating cut effortlessly through hair. Blade stabilizer maintains optimal razor blade spacing for comfort, while allowing the blades to adjust to the contours of a man's face. Streamlined comfort guard channels excess shave prep to help maintain optimal razor blade contact, stretching the skin for a close, comfortable shave. Enhanced lubrastrip is infused with mineral oil and lubricating polymers, enabling the razor blades to move smoothly over skin, even on repeat strokes. Improved precision trimmer includes an enhanced blade, a comb guard to better align long hairs, and rinse-through slots. Redesigned handle with bigger, more ergonomic grips for better control, and improved transition between front and back shaving surfaces. Just one 12-count blade refill can give you a full year of shaves (based on average days of use per refill).

There had to be a better, more affordable way for men to get a close and comfortable shave. There had to be a way to bring the barber’s chair into the bathroom. A man named King C. Gillette worked this out. King Gillette created his first safety razor blade specifically to bring the qualities of the barber’s shave into the home. And while he endeavoured to keep improving his designs until no further improvement was possible, the evolution of men’s razors has outlived King Gillette and is still continued by the company that bears his name.

The history of shaving has grown alongside the evolution of the men’s razor. The shape of the cartridge and the number of blades have changed over time, and a pivot has been introduced between the blades and handle—such as on the Fusion5 ProGlide with FlexBall Technology — to better simulate the pivot of a barber’s wrist and allow better interaction between the razor and skin. Each iteration of the Gillette razor has brought us closer to replicating the skill of the barber. As technology advances, so too do our razors, trimmers, shaving gels and foams and other grooming products.
